In case this helps anyone, I've found this code makes profiling a lot
easier. It automatically instruments the desired functions, runs the
code you want to test, removes the instrumentation, and presents the
results.
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(defmacro profile-org (times &rest body)
`(let (output)
(dolist (p '("org-")) ; symbol prefixes to instrument
(elp-instrument-package p))
(dotimes (x ,times)
,@body)
(elp-results)
(elp-restore-all)
(point-min)
(forward-line 20)
(delete-region (point) (point-max))
(setq output (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)))
(kill-buffer)
(delete-window)
output))
;; Used like this:
(profile-org 10
(org-table-next-field)
(org-table-align))
#+END_SRC
